WAsHIHsros. June f9.-Recently prom
inent citizen of New Jersey had occasion to
write to the Secretary of the Navy in behalf
of friend who had received notification
of his dismissal from his department. The
reply to the letter would appear to very
clearly define the construction given by the
administration to civil service laws. The
letter, in its full text, leaving out the name
of the unfortunate employe. is as follows.
DEAR SIR:-I have yonr letter OF May -,
inclosing one from Mr.. -, relating to
his discharge from navy yard In
the case Of Mr.. -, il is only necessary
TO say that in the reduction OF the force and
in consideration of the work, the position
was considered unnecessary. no person
has been appointed in his place.
should, however. not be entirely
frank with you :f did not add
that there were other considerations
influencing me in general, TO
make changes in the Savy Yard. which
might possibly have covered Mr.. IS
case. 1 have had now two years
experience with the Navy Yards and
long ago concluded that the interests of the
Government would be snhserved by an
entire change throughout. 1t is necessary
to have force here in sympathy with a
more business-like and cleaner order Of
things; and its insidious influence Of per-
sons who have been long in the yard,
creates an unEiendly atmosphere, in which
nothing new or good Is likely TO live.
Yours very respectfully.
